1 Differential Unit problem of the 1999 Mazda 626

Failure Date: 09/23/2004

My1999 Mazda 626 does not shift correctly and the garages all tell me this is normal for this car. They tell me this starts as the car gets older and it is not an easy fix as Mazda is having a problem fixing this.

2 Differential Unit problem of the 1998 Mazda 626

Failure Date: 03/09/2004

1998 Mazda 626 - total transmission failure at 91000 miles. With proper fluid levels and fluid change at 50k miles, the transmissions still experienced a major meltdown! numerous parts destroyed inside the transmission when the differential gear fell apart. I'm very upset with the $2,800 bill to repair something that should have never failed. While calling numerous transmission repair shops, I quickly found this is a very common problem for the cd4e transmission. I was also very disappointed at Mazda's response to a problem that's been ongoing for years! basically. . . "sorry, not our fault". Hopefully this complaint can be used to help make Mazda more responsible for a product they know to be bad.

Failure Date: 02/18/2001

I have had my Mazda in the shop 5 times in the past year and a half all transmission related! it has cost me so much money, inconvienced me and just given me major migrains! I have had the transmission rebuilt twice, the differential barring replaced, a seal which was pouring out fluid and caused me to be stranded on interstate replaced. This car is a joke! Mazda you should be ashamed to have your name on this car! I just got it out of the shop Tuesday and I'm on my way to trade it!! I still owe on this car and I am not a happy and satisfied customer. Why there is not a recall on this car is unbelievable! I have been so emotionally stressed out because I never know where or when my car is going to break down next. This Mazda is history!!!.
